Eva recently shared this photo of herself with Carlos, who was diagnosed with throat cancer nearly two years ago. Her younger brother Carlo shared a touching tribute to their brother on Instagram.

“I still can’t believe this has happened. I’m crying as I write this and I have no idea how to cope with him being gone but I want to thank you all who have reached out to me and believe me when I say your messages make me feel a little bit better. My life will never be the same without him. Thank you all,” Carlo wrote.

We send our thoughts and condolences to Eva‘s family during this difficult time.

The 35-year-old actor said that being a father is “not rocket science” and he’s looking forward to spending the holiday season with his family.

“This will be our first Christmas where [Esmeralda is] sort of taking it all in, so that’s exciting,” Ryan told Hello Magazine.

When asked about Eva, he said that “I know that I’m with the person I’m supposed to be with.” He was also asked about the qualities he looks for in a woman, to which he said, “that she’s Eva Mendes. There’s nothing else I’m looking for.”
